How Dukinfield compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Dukinfield. It is one of 45 Cheshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 41st of 45 for solar yield, a town of 21,380 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 859 kWh per kWp a year, 2.35 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £790 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £543 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Dukinfield's own yield, and at Dukinfield's 859 kWh per kWp it prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Any planning application in Dukinfield sits with Tameside, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is small town.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Dukinfield generates around 5,463 kWh a year, worth around £790 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Dukinfield's own coordinates (53.47374, -2.08293), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.
